Domestic Bliss Photography is our work and our passion. We specialize in Studio and Destination Lifestyle Photojournalism with an emphasis on connecting with our subjects to tell their personal story. Our own personal passion for life, experience and world travel help us bring out the passions of our subjects. Our passion for photography brings out our desire to constantly learn and grow as we continue to perfect our art. Our personal love story brings out the love stories of our clients. We believe that the combination of all these things is vital to telling the stories through pictures that are so important to us. But above all, we believe that having your photo taken should be fun.

Whether being honored to capture your wedding day, document a family trip abroad or share an hour with you in our SE Portland Photography Studio, we will always strive to tell your story in a way that is personal, respectful and fun for everyone involved.

Individually Fearless and Abundantly Talented, together we make an amazing team.

Portraits of Love - UPDATE

We have some good news.  The Portraits of Love program that we are participating in has been extended through the month of November.  We have been incredibly busy with free portrait sittings of military families for the past month and now have time to schedule more families.  The goal is to send 10,000 portraits of military families to their loved ones serving overseas for the holidays.  Meeting these families has left us humbled and speechless.  The sacrifices they are making every day are unimaginable and they deserve everyone’s support.  A big thank you to both FOX12 News http://www.kptv.com/video/21205174/index.html and KGW News Portland for helping us get the word out about this important program.

Portraits of Love for Military Families

pmda-portraitsoflove-wWe know that a family photograph means so much to a soldier, especially during the holiday season. That’s why the Portraits of Love Project was born.

A network of photographers have agreed to donate their time during the month of September (*Domestic Bliss Photography has extended our participation through October 25th) to take a free portrait of families whose loved ones will be serving overseas this holiday season. Photos will be uploaded to a website where you can have your photo sent directly to your soldier for free! It’s our way of saying thank you to the brave men and women who defend our country.

Domestic Bliss Photography is Portland’s Photography Studio participating in this special program.  Please contact us to set up your appointment or forward our information to a military family that you know.

Thank you!   -Laura & Hovering

Red White & Blue

Rugged Individualism. This barn on a ranch in NW Colorado epitomizes America to me. Painted in red, white and blue by hard working Americans, the weathered siding has stood the test of time and it’s colors still shine through.
